Not sure which category to post this in, so here, haha. Title explains it all. What is something your FBI agent would be concerned about being in your search history even though you were only researching for your story? Mine: Due to the setting of my story and the fact I wanted my MC to experienc…
Honestly, I really dislike this. Tapas was a shining beacon for independent web entertainment, and in one fell swoop it's become just another piece of some massive conglomerate. Now the media conglomerates control almost all of the entire web comics industry, and I can't think this will be good in t…
I've never started a business besides just... my little Etsy shop, which barely counts. So I wouldn't be able to give you useful advice. But there are two ideas I'll leave you with; I agree with what Darth said about scoping down; have one project, with one experienced artist, and pay them accord…
If you can't afford to pay the artists appropriately for the project, you should change the scope of the project to budget appropriately with the funds you have. Do something smaller that only requires one artist so you can pay them double that amount (which is still about half what I'd consider rea…
Please do not DM me. I'm not a free business advice person. Please contact an actual business advisor or find and read guidelines on setting up a business that are appropriate to the country you're setting up in.
In short, we are currently working on this story titled 'Nostalgia' here is the rough plot/arc document: link The story takes place on a post apocalyptic where the main characters are trying to find a way to return to Earth. However, as they go around to collect parts for a spaceship, they slowly …
Dude, just ask how mature the romantic content will be instead of making it sound like BL is inherently pornographic. This is such a weird way to put this question.
I just saw someone on here say that they were too old to start...and they said they were 17! Lord have mercy, if 17 is too old then I guess I better just put one foot in the grave. I’m 28. Please don’t give up hope so easily guys! Everything takes time. And even 50 isn’t too old to start if you…
Yes. I grew up in a diverse city I would even dare say that white people were kinda a minority in this bubble. I grew up in the suburb of France, at the border of Paris which historically are places built to centralized the immigrant workers in order to rebuild the country after the war and as you…
Not to mention, the whole thing about "uke" and "seme" assumes all gay men enjoy anal sex. And like... No. This is also an issue because it has become so normal to ask gay men "Are you a top or bottom?" Like @darthmongoose is saying, asking invasive questions about our sexual lives as queer peo…
As an LGBT person I find that I want to read more BL but shy away from it because I don't want to be flooded with bad representation and stereotypes. Heres the thing. That first post with the weird wording about the secret girl and this most recent BL one give false representation on what it mean…
You missed out on the weird 5 year old turns 18 overnight BL post, I envy you for that. But yeah, I know the post you are talking about. I left a comment mentioning it was a little weird, because I didn't want to rip it or tapas apart. It's a drawing prompt after all, one that wasn't thought throu…
I feel like the key point here is media that tackles it WELL. Because most of the time it's not done well and is mostly just trauma porn. Like a book that realistically depicts internalized homophobia really hits for me, but a random hate crime two thirds of the way just makes me uncomfortable. B…
For me, a great story is one where everything that was set up throughout cleanly pays off by the end; logically, thematically and emotionally, and which takes you through a story where the outcome could not have happened without some change or revelation on the protagonist's part. I tend to judge …
@iHateFridays @cookyroach @LMellowFellow @Elfgrafix15 @siluscomics @migxmeg Ok guys, it's time to choose winners. Thank you for being patient and also thank you for being patient during the contest itself when some people needed more time. And I tell you, you made it very hard for me. It almost…
Logline: Rekki has always dreamed of being a magical knight and giving demons the smackdown, but when Excalibur is drawn and this simple childhood wish comes true, her adult life as a celebrated monster-slaying hero throws her into a complex world of politics that tears a rift between her and her…
I am wondering, are any of you considering an animation degree because you “don’t care about animation but want to make a comic”? It’s the closest thing to learn that will benefit me, right? Compared to biology 101, business, or liberal arts etc. You see those “Final Year Projects”, hey, they do com…
I don't know what your budget is per page/panel, but if you do and you have a script (not a story) for your story you can find someone to work with you on commission sites like fiver or here on the forums. If you don't or can't pay, it's best to write your story first and hope to find someone who…
[image] Basically sums up my current status
You laugh but I’m literally that clueless. Not a homophobe thankfully, but I was looking at a pic of butts the other day and I thought they were eggs for a full 5 minutes.
I'd say put it in as a secondary genre if it's relevant. It helps ward off homophobes and attract people for whom it's a plus. I've got it in my tags already even though so far there are only vague hints and mentions of LGBTQ+ characters in my Action comic, because it gets really freaking gay lat…
Truth to be told, I pretty much stole the idea from Webtoons, haha :'D basically, readers who participate in the Canvas Marathon on Webtoon are able to get one free coin as a reward for reading ten episodes of any webcomic in the Canvas section. The prize itself is actually rather small (I think by …
I've suggested this so many times before, but here it is again:
Multiple Genre Filtering
Tapas has allowed us to have multiple genres on our work, but only the first one is actually functional so this feature currently does nothing. The others are there, but they're just descriptive or cosmeti…
Hey I'll take any input I can get! Thank you so much for letting me in to some of your experiences! 
Well to start Happy Black History Month! I'm black as well and it honestly took me a while before I started making black characters, even when it came to self inserts which is...embarrassing to say the least ;;; I think to preface one thing that really comes to mind is this one Ted Talk by Chima…
Meanwhile, in the Webtoons original series section: [image] Nothing against that comic - I read it and like it a lot - but the double standard gets me all the time.
Exactly! This is why I'm just so confused by why people like WT so much. I truly appreciate Tapas' more lenient policies on nudity and wish the site caught on with more creators.
Could you perhaps elaborate on some details? I think the sketchiness might put professional artists off because it seems like a red flag. 2-3k in what currency? From what organisation? If you can't be specific at least say that it's from your place of education, an organisation or a publisher. Y…

I got a 4.0 and 3.9 in my college English classes, got published with nonfiction magazines, and generally excelled with writing my entire life...I've also been artistic my entire life. I never thought about combining the two until I tripped over Webtoons on a Facebook ad (I'm also a voracious fictio…
